#480636 - 01/21/08 05:28 AM Parting out two 88's
88blue90black 88blue90black Member Registered: 11/17/06 Posts: 63 Loc: Centuria, WI	I have two 88 reattas that I am going to part out. I was going to take one apart and restore the other. I desided against this. One has a twisted body, but the interior is in ok shape. The body color is black, and the interior is tan. The seats I am not sure if you can save them.The suade leather is dried out. It does have a good dash and CRT. The carpet is in ok shape. The car still has all the electrical items. The interior is mostly complete. The car does have a good rear window and driver's side window. The other is painted blue. The interior was torched. Apparently there was a short behind the dash. The CRT exploded and poof. The first time I have ever heard of that. This car does have good fenders, bumpers, doors, turn signal lenses (they need a good cleaning), fog light lenses, and body moldings. The tail light doesn't have the relfectors, but the lense its self is in good shape. Such a terrible thing to happen to a beautiful car. P.S. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place Edited by 88blue90black (01/21/08 05:29 AM) _________________________ 88blue 88black parting them out 90 Black/Black/Tan 1984 Pontiac Fiero Sport Coupe white/tan/stock

KDirk KDirk Member Registered: 07/09/07 Posts: 118 Loc: St. Louis, MO	Hi, Do either of these have a trunk weather strip in good condition? Mine has a couple of tears and a new factory part is NLA. Also would be interested in a front air intake grille. Mine has a couple of cracks and a couple of missing mounting tabs. If one is in good shape with all mounting tabs and no cracks, please let me know. And how much for the tail lamp without the reflectors?

88blue90black 88blue90black Member Registered: 11/17/06 Posts: 63 Loc: Centuria, WI	Hey guys... sorry for not responding right away. I was having trouble logging in to check this thread. I will check on your requests. Nemo, the hood is a little worse for ware. It's from the blue one. It would need some paint work. The CRT works great. Infact it was just replaced before the driver decided to send the poor thing into the ditch at 55 or so. KDirk, The tail light is in great shape. Although the "u" in buick is loosing the chrome plating. I do have another here that would need just a little cleaning, unless you would like for me to do it. I'll even polish it for you. lol I'll see how much it would be to ship. I will check on the weather stipping. I checked on the grill and there is a chunk missing in the middle at the top.

C.F.Massie C.F.Massie Member Registered: 11/20/01 Posts: 297 Loc: Wichita, KS "The Air Capital ...	How about the headlight switch pods, does each vehicle still have working ones? Do the backlighting on the buttons still work? I have tried and tried to get one that the lighting is good but with no luck. Let me know if you have some and how much would you want. Also a good working drivers side mirror, the 88s are the same as the 89, which is what I have. The 90 and 91 models are a little different, not all mirrors have just one wire harness and one connector. Either the 88-89 has one each and the 90-91 has one harness but two connectors, or its the other way around. One other item, the drivers interior rear door post cover, the tan one. It's the piece that covers the upper drivers seat belt retractor and wraps around the back deck, left side and covers the rear section of the drivers door. Mine has been damaged by a valet parking attendant. _________________________ C. F. Massie Wichita, Kansas "The Air Capital" (Hawker/Beechcraft-Cessna-Bombardier/LearJet-Boeing) 89 Red/Tan Reatta

88blue90black 88blue90black Member Registered: 11/17/06 Posts: 63 Loc: Centuria, WI	I am not sure if the back lighting works on that head light switch. I will check that out for you. I do have one drivers side mirror. I am not sure if it will work. I will have to test it out. I will take a pic of the tan peice that you requested. About the bumper strip, do you want the one that matches the body color, or is it black? I am unsure how to remove that. _________________________ 88blue 88black parting them out 90 Black/Black/Tan 1984 Pontiac Fiero Sport Coupe white/tan/stock

JWC JWC Member Registered: 10/11/04 Posts: 295 Loc: Michigan	How much for the bad Teves including shipping? I would like one to just take apart to see if I can understand how they work, so I may be able to fix my 90 with the hard brake pedal (but only whens it's cold) or maybe just the valve body.

88blue90black 88blue90black Member Registered: 11/17/06 Posts: 63 Loc: Centuria, WI	K, I will see if I still have them around, or if they are intact. That is if my brother didn't get to them lol. My reatta does the same thing when it is cold out side. If I had to make an emergency stop it's as hard as a rock untill it warms up. I have never figured out why.
